Sauna + Ice Bath Bangkok
Hot. Cold. Repeat.
Floor 8, Sukhumvit Soi 24.
Reset Club BKK runs a TylöHelo sauna at 90C and an ice plunge from 0 to 11C in the same room. Contrast therapy in one venue. Open to non-members. 07:00 to 21:00 daily.
What you are walking into
One room. Two extremes.
Most contrast therapy in Bangkok means visiting two venues. A spa for the sauna, a separate cold therapy club for the ice bath. By the time you have rinsed off in one and ridden a Grab to the other, the protocol has already broken. Reset Club BKK was built to keep the loop intact.
On Floor 8 of the iStore Building on Sukhumvit Soi 24, the sauna and ice bath sit metres apart. A shower in between. Towels. Oversized robes. Hair dryer. Everything you need to do 2 to 5 contrast rounds without resetting your nervous system for transit.
The sauna is a TylöHelo dry sauna, the Finnish standard for commercial heat therapy. Spruce interior. 90 degrees Celsius. Up to 12 people at a time. The ice plunge offers two temperature options: a hard plunge between 0 and 3 degrees, and a milder 11 degree option for first-timers or long-duration sessions. Chiller maintained, filtered, sanitised.
The protocol
Three contrast routines.
Reset Club runs three structured contrast protocols. You can follow them, modify them, or invent your own. The point is to give you a starting framework rather than guessing.
Protocol A, Athlete. Built for the lifter or fighter who needs to be back training in 24 hours. Three to five rounds. 15 to 20 minutes of heat, 2 to 4 minutes of ice, 10 minutes of rest. The longest of the three.
Protocol B, Bodybuilder. Slightly shorter. Two to four rounds. Same heat and ice durations as Protocol A. Designed for hypertrophy-phase lifters where parasympathetic recovery matters but volume is the real driver.
Protocol C, Downshift. For high-stress professionals who want sharper days and deeper sleep, not athletic recovery. One to two rounds. 15 minutes of heat, 2 minutes of cold, 15 minutes of rest. Quickest in, quickest out, most rest.
The science, briefly
Why hot then cold.
Heat therapy dilates blood vessels, raises heart rate, mimics moderate cardio output, and triggers the release of heat shock proteins associated with cellular repair. A 15 to 20 minute sauna session at 90 degrees produces a meaningful cardiovascular and recovery effect, well-documented in Finnish longitudinal studies.
Cold therapy does the opposite. Vasoconstriction. Sympathetic nervous system activation. Norepinephrine spike. Two to four minutes in a 0 to 3 degree plunge is enough to drive most of the documented benefits without dropping core temperature into a state that compromises performance for the next 24 hours.
Alternated, the two create what researchers call vascular pumping: rapid dilation and constriction of blood vessels, which moves circulation through soft tissue, may accelerate recovery markers, and almost universally improves subjective wellbeing in the 30 to 60 minutes following a session.
The catch is consistency. The benefits compound when contrast therapy becomes weekly or twice weekly habit, not a one-off curiosity. Which is why Reset Club sits inside a gym, on the floor you finish training on, instead of across town.
